## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:49:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified pepenodle.com as a high-risk domain involved in crypto draining activities. This site masqueraded as an official presale platform for a meme coin mining token, aiming to trick users into compromising their cryptocurrency wallets. Such threats are critical as they can lead to significant financial losses for unsuspecting victims.

The domain pepenodle.com was registered on October 15, 2025, through GRANSY S.R.O D/B/A SUBREG.CZ and resolved to the IP address 104.21.51.70. It employed the Angel Drainer kit, a known tool for siphoning crypto assets, and appeared on six security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged this domain with alerts from 12 out of 95 security vendors, while AlienVault OTX included it in at least one threat intelligence pulse. Currently, the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk but not eliminating the potential for related threats.

Users are advised to avoid any engagement with pepenodle.com or similar suspicious presale sites. It is crucial to verify the authenticity of cryptocurrency projects before participation and to maintain updated security software. Reporting any suspicious links or transactions related to this domain to security teams can help mitigate further harm.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       b13064521f9d3fa3f7b18d974df66d6d447ddee1353cd49f86c760fa5add10d2

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
